There's only one Levon. Miss him but his music lives on forever. Lucky us.
He was so enjoyable and kind . God bless him and you too😇
Miss him greatly, a wonderful cool as heck man ❤
Æ-mèn, jùs såyîn ¡♥️😎♥️¡
True and well said my friend!
Man oh man,you ain't a kidding..
Even in a crowd, there's no mistaking Levon's voice. RIP
Nailed it...his voice...pure and authentic Americana..
No. Doubt. I also think that applies to Emmy Lou. 💯
I love The Weight, but Levon's performance of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down from The Last Waltz is unforgettable to this day. For me, it's one of the greatest performances from any artist ever. Miss him sooo much. His voice was a gift from Heaven.
Possibly the best live performance outside of Queen at Live Aid. RIP to the geniys that was Levon Helm. 🙏👏👏👏🎤👍👊
Truth told
Is that Neil Youngs wife Peggy?
You know you're in heaven when you're in a band and Stevie Winwood is playing a solo on the organ.
You’re a cold creature if this doesn’t send chills down your spine.
no
These multi-star jams aren’t always great, but this one sure is!
Not so sure I agree with that, I think they're usually pretty great!! 😏
I am old enough, and lucky enough to have seen Levon and The Band in their prime! Best Band EVER!
Me Too & they Brought CHILLS!! :) Cheers JJ
Me as well...
Watch reaction videos. People discovering The Band, for the first time. You will love it.
Me Too!
I’ve heard that from many people, lord of truth to it
When you hear Levon's voice you're listening to the Heartland. Simple as that. Proud as hell he's the American in The Band
I am so glad I was able to see Levon Helm one time before he died. I saw the Levon Helm Band in Toronto about 8 or 9 months before he passed away. Levon only sang lead on 2 or 3 songs, but Ophelia was worth the price of admission and then some--a true legend. RIP Levon YOU ARE MISSED!
+Custard Boy Hey I too am glad to have seen Levon Helm. it was a rain forest benefit concert at the Beacon Theatre Keith Richards headlined .
Greg, God bless you...words from my heart.
And I'm proud as hell he's from Arkansas!
Met the Man behind the drums at Shadden's BBQ, Mariana Arkansas
Jacob Dylan was great here too!
Such a provocative voice & vibe from him just like his father Bob Dylan.
Steve Winwood could have sung a verse, played that Mandolin, played guitar, you name it. What a talent, humbly back there, just nailing the organ like always.
@James Lindsay - Exactly!
Indeed. He also has pretty big shoes to fill on that organ with this song. Well done!
One of all time favorite musicians
James you said it all
Absolutely. Stevie the best
Levon was the old friend I never met.
What a beautiful thought..
Ill remember that allways even about others as well..
That's a great way to put it
I will forever be in mourning for the loss of Levon, but so thankful we still have his music.
Such a talent! Such a loss!
Why mourn for him? I'm grateful we had the honor of sharing this earth with him even though he left us.
@@ChrisHayworth100 not really mourning but wishing he were still here with us.
For me, Levon Helm is one of the all-time great musicians. Besides his phenomenal drum skills combined with his soulfull Southern voice, he brought music that touched the heart directly. So pure, enlightening, fragile and powerful at the same time. Levon Helm brought real life to the stage with his music in a humble way and full of gentleness. The joy for the music and letting the other band members excel. All that was Levon at his very best. Thank you Levon of what you gave me and the world. You are a jewel that I will cherish forever.
And James Taylor being as gentle as always.
Yes, gentle, sure.... if only he had known the lyrics...
Is it just me but Emmylou is still drop dead gorgeous and her voice
Nope Jon - you are exactly right 😀
@jon sebastian Even here on TH-cam, I think you’d find fewer people disagreeing that Emmylou is still gorgeous and talented than any other topic. (In other news: water remains wet.)
@@lesliegoodman-malamuth9796 Thanks Leslie, stay safe girl get your jabs when you can
@@jonsebastian95 Oh, I am!! Fortunately. You, too. ;-)
No it’s not you. She’s still beautiful
Levon...Man...What can you say really. it's your song, always has been, always will be.
Skakulv An argument can be made that Robbie shares ownership since he wrote it but I get what you are saying.
It belongs to the band. Each member contributed a vital piece to the song.
Yep!!!!!
@Kahless Exactly. Robbie's a thief
Ur absolutely correct sir! Thanks brother!
I skipped school in the 11th grade and rode to St. Louis with an older friend of mine to see them at the Keil Auditorium in 1970, so I'm thinking the same tour. Changed my life in so many ways and later meeting Levon when he told me Not to Give Up on my music made a great impact on me!!! God Bless em!!!
E se suoni Dio benedica anche te❤❤
Well…that filled the goosebump quota for this month…ffs…the epic talent on that stage
I know this was a few years ago, but man alive, Emmylou Harris is gorgeous! So is Sheryl Crow!
The voice of Levon Helm transcends time and space!
Emmylou is still to this day amazing.
If there is a woman more timelessly talented and beautiful, I do not know who she is.
Levon was such a kind and talented man...love him dearly.
Miss him dearly
I heard that he was a lovely man, who only ever disliked one person in his life, Guess who ?Robbie Robertson . maybe true? Keep loving
Emmy Lou...the most beautiful woman ever born.
Emmylou looks divine here. What a voice. What a beautiful woman she has always been.
Took the words out of my mouth. She is absolutely stunning.
@@frankcorral4981 She kind of carried the day since JT wasn't quite in synch.
Talent like Levon is very rare. RIP
The Band, what an incredible band they were!!
EmmyLou so classy Great Version RIP Levon
May Levon be "playing in peace" in the heavens above! There's a tear running down my cheek.
🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸✍🏻❤️✨🌎💫
Nice to see Jakob Dylan with Levon
I love Jacob's voice and performing.
The tribute to Levon on the Americana Music Awards is awesome. This song always has a mystical ghostly feel to me, one of the best songs ever written and performed....Levon Helm you are missed
The Great Stevie Winwood playing with Levon! Two of the greatest musicians of any time period. I wish Stevie sang a verse. Two of my favorite singers! So special! I have never seen them on stage together!
Better win wood sing than James Taylor. He was struggling with lyrics and missed his cue. Geezus.
Unfortunately there was not enough time for Steve to sing one but we were hoping ...
This is a song from a better time!!!!
Oh my God... where were these concerts that I wasn't there? To see such individuals in one go...
We flew to LaGuardia Halloween 2010, rented a car, and went to Levon's Barn/Home/Studio for his Midnight Ramble... Never forget it. Jesse Winchester was the Guest. Levon was not in good shape; he played and sang his heart out. Flew back the next day...
Levon, oh what a voice like a brick threw a picture window, unmistakeable.
so much talent on this stage, god we need music in our lives especially these days with everyone in the country at each others throats, keep hoping better times ahead, pay it forward people
Well said 👍😎
Good message
Music will unite us❤️💜🎸
I'm amazed the stage didn't collapse under the sheer weight of all that talent. And for all those trying to get to the bottom of the Levon - Robbie fight....I don't know, man, let it go. You have two people with their own versions of the story. Let the music speak for itself.
Robbie’s name is on it as the writer. He needed to share it with the others - Levon, Garth, Rick, and Richard, his musical brothers because with them, the song would never have come to be.
@sandalssuck no one agrees with lavons story except the robbie haters.
@sandalssuck why would Rob want to revisit gigging in run down hotels again when he could be writing scores for movies?
I think it was about money and writing credits. For talented men it's not easy to reconcile. I read that Robbie went to see him in the hospital before he passed. I hope they made some sort of peace with each other.
@@sartainja Yes and by that logic every Lennon/McCartney song should list Harrison and Starr as co-writers; and Jagger/Richards should share the song writing royalties with Jones, Wyman, Watts and Wood as appropriate. ({/s} for those who need it.)
No one can ever sing this lead better than Levon. I do enjoy Mavis Staples work on it. But Levon is the gold standard.
för sūrê, Levon dá Mãn, jùs såyîn ¡♥️😎♥️¡
@@freakbennett2263 Levon did what he was born to do.
have never seen this til now. makes me cry to watch and listen.
Me, too. I have loved this song in many renditions. But Levon Helm has always had a place in my heart.
One of the best all-star performances of The Weight.
LEVON HELM and those other people
Thinking of the band and their music makes me want to cry. To see Levon with people like James Taylor, Emmy Lou, Sheryl, Jacob makes me happy in a sad way if that makes any sense. "The Band" was so incredible on so many levels no words can explain.
Oh shit as soon as heard his voice I knew where this was going. I opened up a bottle of tequila and hoped for the best.
Damn right Susan. pour a large one for me
Haha, great comment!
cheers!
If you drink the good stuff you notice how bright all the colours are the next morning!
Sheryl and Emmylou were feeling it. Winwood played it.
tears! So many tears ❤🇮🇹grazie The Band ⭐fantastico
Man I miss Levon!
Beautiful. Sheryl You Rock especially . Go woman.
Levon could sing a phone book. Levon could sing graffiti off a subway wall and I'm still down..
Sheryl crow looks and sounds great
LEVON HELM Another AUTHENTIC LEGEND 🙏🥰 R.I.P
Loved his cameo in the movie Shooter.
Agree, still got the shovel
Dude could act!
LOL...I'm watching it right now. I just had to go listen to some of his songs.
So many of the details I was unaware of. When this song was released, I guess I missed the fanfare because I was in route to the Central Highlands of Vietnam in August of 68. Crazy times.
Thanks for your service, real glad you made it back, crazy times indeed
Uncle Randall Silva PFC - awarded the Silver Star. Hit in 1968 in the Central Highlands. RIP love you forver
Thank you for your service. My dad was there too.
Such a powerful group of singers, young and old! Levon, you will live on in your great music and soulful voice.
8/11/17 Still Miss Levon 5 yrs this yr man Life is short it goes by so fast... Levon is a jewel.
YO MAMA you are Kind 😂😃😅
My favorite all time song
Levon awesome as always
But feels like Steve was
playing that organ up and down my spine sending
chills all over my body.
Love you so much Levon
RIP
Emmylou--loads of talent and arguably all-time best looking country singer!
No argument from me!!
I love all the Stevies
Wow Levon Helm What a man
RIP Levon Helm. Missing you 😞
We miss you Levon. Thank you.
GREAT VERSION! Levon and all those great artists performing with him. Levon was great playing the mandolin. But he was a fantastic drummer. I always say if there is a rock n roll heaven they have one hell of a drummer in Levon Helm.
Levon rest in peace
Always the REAL leader of the Band!
Emmylou and Levon so perfectly complement each other, especially in "Evangeline" from The Last Waltz. She does an amazing duet with James Taylor on the 3rd verse here. What an incredible version all around
Evangeline is my favorite!!!!
I've never been a huge fan of Emmylou, but I agree with you about her duet with James Taylor: it's quite lovely.
She was an airhead. She had no business being in this crowd.
love Levon.
Wow! Perfection. Im so moved by this time amazing performance! Love it.❤
Arguably worlds prettiest grey haired babe....all hail Emmy Lou!
yep I said that to my wife, its ok now I have recovered very well the doctors told me
@@MrRockgod49 LOL
Willie is said to have remarked there's two kinds of people: Those in love with Emmy Lou, and those who haven't met her yet.......................
Mr. Helm......as a Canadian....so 🙏 for your gifts. Up on cripple creek ....for me was the start of ❤ affair with your rhythms and cadence with your music. What a Band!
R.I.P. Levon, thanks for soundtacking my life.
Speaks well of us when we rise to the occasion. THESE are MASTERS of the performance of American Pop/rock/country/folk music all at once. Humbling to see & hear. Jacob Dylan. `Wish my Bro could hear `em.
Jakob Dylan
Levon still sounding good here....nice having female voice Sheryl Crowe on board too. Great job by all here!!! Spirited!
Each of these gifted musicians have been my favorites for many years. Another great version with Ringo and Robie(RIP)😅
The greatest group song ever. Each verse sung by a legend.
Awesome
Much love
One of the best ever the song and the man RIP Levon
When levon performs it says it all, I miss seeing him act, sing and love his drumming he will always be one of my favorites
WOW!!I love it
Can't imagine how it feels to know you were in the audience.
Just one word.. Amazing x
I was watching this program in real time. I was almost crying. Why? There are so many talents here, Steve Winwood on Hammond B3, Levon Helm on vocal and mandolin, Sheryl Crow, Emmilou Harris and James Taylor. What a line up. I got goosebumps.
Plus Jacob Dylan!
@@daviddemar8749 Jakob Dylan

Oops . my middle name is Jacob , spelled the usual way - honoring my late mother's uncle Jack ( im not sure if his name in the old country was yakov or not. Hence, my confusion/error .good catch.
They shoulda let Steve Winwood sing. He would outshine tham all!.. what a damn shame.
Super group? damn right, an un forgettable version of a veritable all time classic. What a line up of talent.
Beautiful and I love this i could listen to this song over and over
Great song and great performers. Thank you and God bless everyone
Just wow, the talent on this stage is mind boggling!! How many icons can fit on one stage? Amazing group here, surprised the stage didn't collapse from the talent!
Wonderful
This is a treasure in so many ways!
Sounds great, right on time...
Sheryl was Incredible!
Levon absolutely owns this song. The mass of talent performing here was immense but Levon blew them away.
it is his song
Fantasic LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL these so talented pioneers
Hello Brenda,
How’re you doing?
Thanks for your love, support and for being an amazing fan! ❤️
It's nice meeting you here
Outstanding performance of one of my favorite songs.
Very Fine
So needed at this very moment. Levon is one of our angels.
Amazing performance by everyone.
First time I heard The Weight it changed my life, music could do that then.
I needed that. Thank you
What a wonderful lineup!!! Classic song.
This is the type music that never gets old timeless👍😎
